A picture is worth a thousand words

I am a huge sucker for photography. The way a camera captures a scene, in an effortless manner. The way light can hit and change the entire mood of the peice. the way you can almost hear whats happening in the picture. But that’s all color photography.
Color’s opposite, black and white, has a way of translating in a whole new way. It can speak to a whole new crowd, and it can single out those who appreciate the fine arts. The darkness of the photo can be the lightest of all. 

there are some photographers who shoot primarily colorless. i learned how to develop pictures in black and white. My favorite present day photographer, Aneta Kowalczyk (don't ask me to pronounce that)
shoots in color, but her black and white portraits are breath taking. But one of my favorite (Late) photographers is Garry Winogrand. he can take a shot at just the right time to capture the inexplainable movement of man. 
the photos are Garry Winogrand. aneta's website is http://www.anetakowalczyk.com/ 
check it out, and who knows, you might like ansel adams someday!
